Some Black Plauge Facts

The citezens pf Lubek, Germany, to appease God, brought enourmous amounts of money and wealth. The monks and priests, afraid of catching the plague, locked the gates, then the citizens threw the valubles over the walls, in which the monks tried to throw it all back. For years the money which had piles up, was not touched, a testament of self preservation over greed.

Wierd Anti-Plauge remedies

The killing of all Swallows
Rubbing perfumes and scented oils on the walls and furniture of a house
Smoking tobaco

cancer can kill you.

more people have been born than have died.

a platapuss can lay eggs, swim with its webbed feet, sting with its poisonous teeth(that are on the back of its heels), sweat milk, and has a bill.

cancer is not really a disiese. you cannot contract it from another person, but it is still considered so.

100% of all people born, die
.
in marathon duratual(think thats how u spell it) you could: duel wield weapons, melee enemies, swim, save your game and play online multiplayer.

Marathon had a game type callled: kill the man with the ball (oddball?)

The weapons from halo : the rocket launcher , the pistol, and the plasma pistol were based on weapons from marathon. Rocket launcher: Rocket launcher(had 2 rotating barrles) Pistol: Pistol(had a scope[halo]could be duel wielded[halo2 + 3]) Plasma Pistol: fusion Pistol (could be charged to take down the shield of invincible enemies[take down shields: halo].

Halo was originaly going to be a strategy game, then a third person shooter.

The mongoose from halo 3 was originaly made for halo 2, but could not be intigrated into gameplay by bungie.

In halo 1 some jackles wore helmets. They stoped since halo 2.

halo 1,2 and 3 all contained 4 winged prehistoric looking birds.

The sniper rifle is the least changed weapon from halo 1.

Bungie has a real working warthog!

In the level( The PIt) you can drive a transport warthog for 3 seconds. you must 1st breach the fence wall. then destroy the transport warthog. wait approx. 15 minuits. it will respawn. push it to the fence wall with an object. fly to the warthog as a sentinial and land on it. get in. you can drive for 3 seconds. you will then die.

The most short lived weapon in the halo franchise was the brute plasma pistol witch aired in halo 2.

In halo 1 you could kill a hunter with 1 well placed pistol shot.

If the pistol still had a scope there would be no battle rifle.

In halo 1 the sniper rifle had night vision.

Master chief's mark VI armor was first tested by a female.

Master Chief can survive atmospheric entry and falling thousands of feet, but can be killed by a punch from a brute or falling 100 feet.

In halo online the fuel rod cannon was actual called a fuel rod gun. The name was changed for the exstreme changes of firepower and projectile delivery.

There are no gold elites in halo 3.

In halo 3 the game is made more difficult by: adding more enemies, weakening the player's attacks and increasing the attacks of the enemies.

The Easter Bunny is a bunny because the god for which Easter was named after, the Germanic god of spring Eostre, was said to have found a dying goose, and the god saved it by turning it into a rabbit. Because it was once a goose, it retains the ability to lay eggs.


So not true.
In DaVinci's The Last Supper, there is an oddly colored egg infront of St. Peter, the first pope. DaVinci was a member of The Hare Club for Men, a secret organization bent on protecting the traditions of Easter. DaVinci was not allowed to paint St. Peter in his true form, a rabbit. That is where we get the Peter Rabbit from. Using highly advanced fiber optic decryptors, one is able to see that DaVinci did paint St. Peter truly, but he disguised it. St. Peter was appointed Pope by Jesus because a rabbit is the only true being that can be the voice of God. Today, this fact is hidden by the Vatican, even after their failed attempt to destroy this fact. The Hare Club for Men, or the THCFM, guard the only descendent of St. Peter, a white fluffy rabbit named Snowball. The members of THCFM are those you find everywhere, dressed as the Easter Bunny. The hold their meetings in an old house by a certain lake in Chicago which I cannot name due to specific regualtions bestowed on me by Snowball and The Hare Club for Men. After reading this, I hope you will not curse the presence of Snowball with such lies of Easter!

1. Biggest Flower Bloom
Found in the rainforests of Indonesia, the Rafflesia Arnoldii is a flower that boasts the world's largest bloom that can grow to be 3 feet across and weigh up to 15 pounds. With no visible leaves, roots or stem, the Rafflesia must attach itself to a host plant to receive its water and nutrients. The aroma that the flower emits is likened to rotten meat when it is in bloom.

2. Smallest Insect
The smallest insect in the world is the Megaphragma Caribea from Guadeloupe, measure at a mere 0.17mm long, which replaced the Alaptus Magnanimus (Fairy Flies) a member of the Myrmaridae family. Other members of the smallest insect category are the Diptera (True Flies), Collembola (Springtails) and Nanosella Fungi (Feather-winged Beetle).

3. The Furthest Moon From Sun
No longer classified as a planet, Pluto is the furthest moon at an astonishing distance of 4,583,190,000 miles from the sun. If it was possible to hop into a car and drive from the Sun to Pluto traveling at a consist speed of 55 mph, then the trip would take 9512.64 years to complete the entire trip. The planetary road trip would cost an outstanding $392,844,857.14 (based on 35 mpg and $3.00 per gallon of gas).

4. The First Water Powered Car
Swiss born inventor Isaac de Rivaz was the first to make an automobile powered by an internal combustion engine in the year 1805. Gasoline was not invented until the 1870's and this automobile operated on Hydrogen extracted from water. So, really Rivas not only invented the world's first water powered car, but also the first Hydrogen powered car.

5. World's Strongest Fiber
Interestingly, the world's strongest man-made fiber is Dyneema, a super strong polyethylene fiber that is 15 times stronger than steel. Dyneema is resistant to moisture, chemicals and UV light. The Dyneema fiber is used to produce the strongest fibrous rope in the world.

6. First Personal Computer
Honeywell Corporation introduced the first personal computer in called the H316 Pedestal Model in 1969. This computer boasted a 2.5 MHz processor, 4 KB magnetic core RAM, expandable to 16 KB and cost $10,600.

7. Toys Made In The USA
We are living in a time where 80% of all toys are manufactured in China and other foreign sources that have demonstrated a poor track record of quality control and safety. Locating toys made in the USA is very difficult, but for concerned parents and caregivers there is a ray of sunshine pushing through the clouds of unsafe products of the toy industry and about 100 USA made toys can be located at Step2.com.

8. The World's Most Dangerous Insect
The mosquito accounts for millions of deaths around the world every year. Mosquitoes are carriers of yellow fever, dengue fever, west Nile virus and forms of encephalitis are deadly to humans and animals. Malaria a mosquito-bourn virus accounts for more human deaths each year than HIV, Cancer and Heart Disease worldwide. So, don't forget to protect your skin with your favorite mosquito repellent, because there are billions of hungry, blood-sucking critters that would enjoy nothing more than to make a feast out of you.
